Buddy i tried to be sneaky and surprise you with a working pull out side tab to change the BG and main color scheme on my main theme but there is just to much going on within nuke. I do not want to tamper with the ravennuke.css which is looking like i might have to at the very least. Was hoping to be able to offer you a finished theme with the above features but it ends up in a bit of a mess.

So i will scratch that until RN 3.0 at the earliest LOL. I did manage to finish my basic default site template and i think you will like it a lot. It is a little bit out there and not the typical RN look which i am glad of.

Cannot wait to upload and show you but it seems that even though i can get a theme a week done for RN my own theme is taking forever. Isnt that the way it is. A mechanics car is the last to get a tune up. huh..

nextgen

with Kindness comes many rewards.

Ya I had tried some similar efforts with my style switching theme, using alternate stylesheets. By default RN does not currently have a method to load them, but will in our next major release.

Although I came up with a function to load them, there is still too much inline styling within RN @ current. Specifically, the use of $textcolor1, $bgcolor1, etc.

I still load a "print" alternate stylesheet here, although I haven't had time to finish it... It can be viewed in Firefox via the view->page style->print. The other major browsers used to have options for viewing alternate styles but I could not find them.. Most users don't know about switching styles, so in normal use you pretty much have to use JavaScript to switch the styles anyway.

The funny thing is i thought i had it perfect and kept refreshing and clearing out my cache a si just knew it was a cache issue and it was perfect. I thought, yes i can actually offer something useful back to you but in the end i had nothing to offer in return for the kindness you have offered. I am still trying to figure out one other project and if it turns out i think you might be impressed.
